(Verse 1 - Paris)
You in tune to the most dangerous on file
n***as finna mash on - b**h get wild
With these field n***a serenades, we break wide
In the land of the weak home of the slave we rise
To protect - they servin' us with sticks and shots
But who protect us from these murderous cops
Whose heroes, you could keep your flags I'm out, I'll
Wrap a chain around the precinct and burn sh** down
f** the police, I'm thinkin' how to feed my seed
Bumpin DPs bailin' down the block on D's
It's the same sh** every day
Seem the more a n***a build they wanna take away
Like a slave when you can't eat you can't sleep
Can't seem to find peace, only thing the street see is police and poverty
b**h don't start with me - I can't fade
The bullsh** noise that the radio play
Where the world wanna be like and talk like and act like and rap like
The black life is all gats and crack pipes
I spit right - n***a whut? My sh**s tight
Is you a snitch, n***a or b**h? Ya choose sides
When we roam, we beat back attack of the clones
What kinda sh** cha'll n***as is on? We hit home
And spill so the people could feel this real talk
From the bay and everything in between to New York - Holla
What we gotta do is tear sh** up (8x)
(Verse 2 - Paris)
This is the way we bomb when we come around
Still keep it on the map for the underground
f** the system, I'ma holla with a black fist
It's hard truth, where my soldiers? We still blitz
And who's who with these gangstas, see a vet
Young n***as or the government? Take a guess
See we blessed with the speech that could reach oppressed communities
World wide so we don't waste time we stress freedom
And serve 'em wit the style (what)
Motherf** smilin' (what)
Who wanna ride (what)
Rally up the crowd (what)
Full hollow tips (what)
Cyanide squibs (what)
Power to the people
With rocks, banana clips see us
Strugglefor the streets motherf** the bling
Nowadays radio make it harder to bring
Real sh** to the people - it's deeper than me
They intice with the conflict ice and blow trees
Corporatized by the vile - they smile and fill
Black bodies in the pen it's the men they k**
3 strikes, whose life? Not my life yours
Put the men into prison turn women to who*es
Ignore cries of the people - but time is up
Stay tuned for the sequel - we buildin' to bust
I'm goin' AWOL - f** all laws I wanna attack
This bullsh**, hold 'em accountable for they acts - feel me
What we gotta do is tear sh** up (8x)
(Verse 3 - Dead Prez)
Militant and political Guevera M-1
I wipe the smile off you many mouths, meld like a gun
And I remember '99 goin' on tour with Big Pun
Gettin' this fast rap cash from them six-week runs
See I done learned from them generals with wild entourages
f**in' like rabbits but don't wanna be fathers
f**in' up they hotel room, stay on some star sh**
Know your role, play you position, rule 4
You know you can't fade it, it's gang truce-related
We bang for change, hittin', no game, you can't hate it
I wanna slap Bush and his mammy
For how he did the Haitians in Miami that's my fam
Coupe tet Boule kay, so please die cracka die
That's for 22 generations of genocide
You see that's why we get high, just to get by
See we sit and wait until it's dark outside and then we ride
On our enemies, you can depend on me
If you a pig then you can't be no friend of me
See it's been 33 years since Fred been gone
He was murdered on the same day Jay-Z was born, for real
12-4-69, same year, when they take one from us
Then another appears
We gon' take this time to commemmorate
NRD - National Revolutionary Day, say it -
What we gotta do is tear sh** up (8x)
